PAGE TEN THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1952 OCAVITE SENIORS WIN... Central Junior Cagers Down OCVI 40-35 By WINSE BRADLEY Central Juniors made it two in a row over the OCVI cagers last night by virtue of their close, 40- 35, victory right in the Ocavite's own gym. In the see-saw battle that saw the lead change hands several times in the early stages, height and lots of it, paid off for the lanky Centralites. ; The advantage of being taller was used to the hilt by Chase, Zelinsky, Olinyk and company. This front wall in playing the whole game amassed 32 of their team's 40, with the other eight going to Morley Yeo who played a standout game on defence as well. For OCVI it was the brilliant marksmanship of Don Mallett and the fine rebounding of Bob Mc- ALBERT STREET CHURCH ~ / LEAGUE The Jokers went away out in front in the Albert Street League second section in Monday night's bowling as the teams at the bottom of the league made a strong come- back and held some of the leaders scoreless. Jokers took their three points from the Sparks to send their point total up to 21, eight points ahead of the second place Hit and Miss team, which lost all three points to the downtrodden Numacs. The Spikes took three points from the third-place Hustlers and the Sliders did some climbing by taking three from the Nit-Wits. The Lucky Sevens 'took two from the Fishers, and this sent the Nit- Wits down into' the cellar. As a result of the night's play, the league standing now is as follows; Jokers 21 Hit and Miss Hustlers Sparks Sliders Fishers Numacs Spikes Lucky Seven Nit-Wits So far as individual high scoring it was definitely ladies' night. have the top but more of them reached the roll of honor than was the case with the men. ty Pike was high for the night with a double of 522 and singles of 310 and 212, some real classy bowling for Betty. Other lady bowlers who topped 400 for the double, .with their high single scores in brackets, were E. Scott, 447 (230,217); D. Spiers, 442(258); Dorothy Coleman, 417(221); Gladys Shemilt, 411(202,209). Other lady bowlers rolling singles over 200 were Blanche Norton with 235; Joyce Blatch, 229; E. Snow, 225; M. Parks, 216 and Marion Fisher, 207. Leon Parks was top scorer in the male list, with a double of 466 and singles of 227 and 239. Only * two other men went over 425 for the double, these being Bruce Clark, 442 (235,207) and Albert Walker, 429 (214g and 215). Only five others had single games over 220, Howard Horton, 237; A. Rundle 228; H. Snow, 235 H longbottom, 228 and Clayton Lee, 226. Three bowlers tumbled into the Lemon League. Carl Morgan being quite off his game with a 51, Elmer Pixley with 85 and Helen Atkinson with 89. Next Monday sees the end of the second section of the league, which has already been won by the Jok- ers, since their lead of eight points cannot be overtaken. Sliders won the first section so that these two teams, led by Fred Coleman and Gladys Shemilt repectively, are assured places in the playoffs. The ' third section will settle which is to be the third team to enter the final series. . X ST.

SENIORS TRIUMPH The newly-formed OCVI Seniors came up with their second victory McFater Shows Well Against World (Champion Toronto (CP)-- A 20-year-old Canadian lad who wasn't rated a chance of going more than five rounds with lightweight boxing champion Jimmy Carter of New York, last night stuck around for nine in one of the best fights seen in these parts for years. Even though he dropped a unan- imous decision in the nine-round non-title clash, TorontQ's Allan McFater put up a show that vet- eran fight followers termed his F 0 2 2 2 0 0 0 0 OCoococoarrunah 0 0 6 4 best ever. A crowd of 8666 paid" $17,334. Carter beat McFater to the punch over most of the route, but the Canadian was never on the run. Managed by Willie Ketchum, the Negro title - holder directed his attack at the Toronto fighter's mid- section, keeping him off balance with jabbing lefts and a lightning- like right cross. > The Canadian Press scorecard | gave Carter six rounds, McFater two and one even. There were no knockdowns in the nine rounds, a compromise distance between eight and 10. The galleries booed the decision. They had roared time and again throughout the bout when McFater laid into Carter, but most of the punches glanced off the champion. McFater weighed 141, five pounds more than the champion who let him carry the first two rounds. The third was all even as the Toronto boy tired, Carter taking command for the remaining six. Best exchange of the fight came midway through the seventh when both fighters stood toe to toe trad- ing lefts and rights. McFater broke out with his favorite right hook near the end of the flurry and Carter quickly clinched. The only damage was suffered by the winner. McFater opened a cut. over the titlist's left eye and raised a mouse under it. After the fight, Carter described McFater as a 'tough, very strong young fellow. He took a lot of punches and sure hit with that right of his. I think with a little more experience he'll go far. He caught me with a couple of good ones." Three Gentlemen Lead Point Race Janior "B' League Lindsay -- Three centremen are still in the running for the OHA Central Ontario Junior "B" League scoring honors as the four teams go into the stretch. The season- long leader, Heck Lalonde of Belle- ville, with 50 points holds a three- point margin over Peterborough Odd Fellows' Rex Robinson. Doug Powell. shifty Lindsay playmaker with 18 goals and 23 assists for 41 points still has an outside chance to take the lead with five game to go. Ken Schinkel, linemate of Powell, is in fourth place with 39 points. Ted Degray of Belleville, who tops the goal scorers along with Lalonde and Robinson is in fifth spot with 34 points. *in as nfany starts last night, | handing Central's Senior Bees a decisive 44-29 setback. The game was a slow, listless affair that lacked the vim and vigor of most basketball encount- ers. Leading the parade of scorers for the Ocavites was rollickin' Roh Harris of the Gold Dust twins who threw in eight field goals, good for 16 big points. Next in line with 11 markers was "Seef" Edgar, while John Carnwith was close on his heels with 10.

Sleep, Dawe and Rolly VENOUNNT playoff hopes here last night with | Goalie Reg Truex of Lindsay | CHECKING ON SPORT vr A lot of fuss and feathers flew in Whitby last night when the Intermediate basketball club from that community de- feated Port Perry to leave Whitby in a play-off spot, and the Ports out of one. The game itself was fairly quiet, but the post-game action wasn't. Referee problems were the whole trouble and if a protest arrives, as it seems it will, the whole matter will have to be threshed out at the OABA executive meeting. The fuss stems from the fact that an "inféormal" protest on the officialling was laid after the first meeting between these two clubs, and it was then . . , also "informally" thought . . . that the use of approved referees should be the thing for the return game. Since both men used in the second game have OABA rat- ing, they come under the Osh- awa and District Association's definition of approved officials. The protest . . . should it come . . . will be lodged by the Ports and will constitute the first exec fun that the local men have had this season. This meeting, when it was called, will also be used to draw up play-off schedules, for by that time, the Irish-Ajax question will have been solved by their game at Simcoe Hall tonight. Stack Unlikely To Compete Speed-Skating By JACK SULLIVAN Oslo, Norway (CP)--This city of 400,000 population is shaping up |as the world's sport centre with the cream of the globe's winter- sports athletes arriving daily .for the Olympics. Competitors from about 20 of the 30 participating nations are here and 50 of the expected 460 news- papermen and photographers have moved into the newly-built press hotel. Oslo is taking on the Olympic look. The five rings, symbol of the games, are predominant in store windows and the flags of the com- peting countries are going up in hotels, shops and other buildings.

Sogn is made up of two modern, electrically - heated &ight - storey apartment buildings which will house the expected 1100 to 1200 competitors. There are two beds to a roomi,-a table with reading lamps, ilt-in cupboards and every floorfhas two sitting 'rooms, showers and wash rooms, Work- shops for repairs are located in the cellar. The buildings also have a large restaurant, post and tele- graph office, barbers, hairdressers, a travel bureau, bank, newsstand and laundry.- Canadians now in the village-- skiers and figure-skaters--are high in their praise of the quarters and the food. Meanwhile, Frank Stack of Winnipeg, one of Canada's greatest speed-skaters, said today it is extremely doubtful he will be able to compete in the Olympics because of a knee injury. The 46-year-old Stack, four-time Canadian champion and holder of practically every speed-skating i title in Manitoba, tore a cartilage. in the first period and inserting |in his left kpee while practising at Lillehammer, about 70 miles north Campbell were fair for Cobourg. {of Oslo.

Commissioner John (Ox) Dagros, summed it up that Walcott morally should fulfill his half of the written bargain but noted that the com- mission would put no pressure to make him do it. Walcott won the title from Charles in a fight in Pittsburgh last July. He signed the pact for a return bout in June, 1951. BATTLE SALARY LIMITS Organized baseball hauls out its heavy legal guns today to combat a recent government ruling which puts a new squeeze on diamond salaries. Louis F. Carroll and Ben Fiery, attorneys for the National and American Leagues respect- ively, head a battery of sports figures to appear at a special hear- ing called by the salary stabiliza- tion board.

Sports Roundup By GAYLE TALBOT New York (AP)--They say that tears rolled down Warren Giles' cheeks the other night while Ralph Branca was singing his heartbreak song. at the baseball writers' annual dinner here. The National League president listened to the pitcher's rich bari- tone lamenting the home run that Bobby Thomson hit off him in the final playoff game and said, "it's the most wonderful thing that ever happéned to baseball." A number of thick-crusted critics called Branca's warbling the great- est act in the 29-year history of the 'writers' show. It is customary in these ever- lively reviews to impersonate the baseball character who is being dissected. This has proved a highly BIRDIE BATTERS BATTLE The Ontario badminton champ- ionships will be held at the Strat- ford badminton club Feb. 14 to 17, club officials announced yesterday.
